Independence OF Ireland, and the re-
duction of the twenty-three empires Of
Europe to ten, representing the "ten
horns" Of prophecy; that for three and
one-half years, beginning in 1898, the
whole world would be involved in the
greatest contention ever known, as re-
suit of socialistic agitation, and that in
1901, on the last day of the passion week,
Christ would return to earth, resurIect
and select IA, 900 saints, and depart for
1000 years, during which the devil would
hold sway over the earth, the "editor Of
the Sunday paper" being given the
hottest place in hades. Other things Of 8
most frightful nature would occur. After
the 1000 years have elapsed, he said,
Christ will return with his IA, 900 saints,
Danish the devil and all the wicked, and
reign forever and ever over the earth, in
peace, good will, happiness and glory.
Realizing as only Fort Worthite
can, the supreme potency Of map, pre-
pared expressly for the occasion, THE
GAZETTE is still pe-plexed and cropping
in outer darkness. Rev. Baxter re-
ceives his information, map and all, from
the inspired Word, ostensibly, yet how he
can nnd any reference to second Franco
German war in Revelations is not clear.
Then the idea of limiting celestial emf
grafton to IA 900 is absurd. Utah alone
can furnish this complement; and who
would be willing to remain on this mum
dane sphere when he is informed that the
"devil would hold sway over the earth?"
Those remaining behind would surely have
"deviln of time. The reverend gen
tleman says also that the editor of the
Sunday paper would be placed on the
ground floor, as it were, by his satanic
majesty. This reference to the newspa
per profession reminds US that Rev.
Baxter is editor of religious journal.
He is doubles endeavoring to snatch
brands from the burning, but it is
quite likely that his startling announce
ments will add to the temporary circula-
ton of his paper.

BAX1ER'S PROPHECIES.

The Rev. Mr.. Baxter, clergyman of
the Church of England, delivered an ad-
dress in Boston the other day, which is
somewhat remarkable. He labored to
show his hearers that in the good year
1901 the prophecies of the Bible would be
fulfilled. He did not depend on mere
assertion. He had maps and charts to
bear him out IN his argument, and we
have the evidence of our distinguished
fellow townsman, Colonel Peter Smith,
that map, when properly made, is an
argument which storms the citadel o
doubt and brings forth conviction q sub.
missive prisoner. The opening of the
seals is to take place in the next fourteen
years, Mr.. Baxter claims. Franceand Ger
many were to wage terrible war within
q year or so, France conquering, and
that this war would indirectly lead to the

Browning Safe.
Tascosa Pioneer.

II the Panhandle should be so Hnwise
and ungrateful as to persecute Jim
Browning, it will boost him all over
Texas. The fidelity of this man to the
Panhandle was his one political sin in the
eyes Of other sections, and just let 1t be-
come known that the Panhandle is against
him, and his political fortune is made.
Never man served people more faith
fully than has Jim Browning served the
people of his district Fort Worth GA
ZRTTE.
Where or how THE GAZETTE got the
idea that the Panhandle was about to
"persecute" Jim Browning, is to US IN
accountable. There may be many things
going on beneath the surface of events
which we wot not of, and doubtless there
are: but one of the least probable Is that
any concerted action is being taken, or
will be taken, looking to the bringing
down Of Hon. j. N. Browning. No man
OF force but has his enemies, and in view
of the firmness of purpose and vigorous
public labor which have marked Mr..
Browning's career in the past, it would be
miraculous if he had not his share. But
mis- hold on the affections and confidence
of the people of his district will make
abortive any undetermined attempt to
blacken his fair name or do him injury.
THE GAzETTE's expressions of sympathy
are premature, for Browning is certainly
safe.

MORE TROUBLE FEARED,
The Ballet Corn, of Paris.

The ballet corps of the Paris granC
opera consists of 115 women and girls
There are three stars, ten first subjects
twenty-five second subjects, three
divisions of coryphees or leaders, two
qusdrilles, divided into four sections, the
walkers" and the infant class or Gratis
The pupils receive 40 cents each time
they appear; the young ladies of the
quadrilles from $40 to $40 a month; the
coryphees from $50 to $50; the subjects,
or those who dance steps outside the
ensemble figures, $50 to $500; the stars
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. These
last named amounts are less than the sal
aries paid in former days. Thus Tuglioni
gained $1,000 8 year; Fanny Elssler,
$4,000; Carlotta Grisi, SS4OO; La Cerrito,
$4,000, and La Rosita, $4,000. The
organization of the grand opera ballet
dates from 1713, and was decreed by
Louis XIV. The grand monarch even
wrote the regulations for the first ballet
corps with his own hand.

In THE year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-two, on the 18th
day of July, in the city of Galveston, the
Democratic party of Texas declared itself
"opposed to the present system of ma
tional banks and all banks of issue, and
favor free coinage of gold" and so
forth. Other Democratic states have
done the same thing. We have Demo
cratic administration and Democratic
Secretary of the Treasury, but strange to
say, he seems to be in no particular
hurry about calling in the bonds which
form the ground work of the national
banking system. In the goodness of his
heart he may be deslrous of leaving our
orators something to air their powers of
defamation over, or, perhaps, he is one
of those who believe national debt is
national blessing-to national bank.

owe only want to tap Jay uould lit
tle," said one of the Austin train robbers.
There is flavor of Robin Hoodism in the
remark which, in some minds, will tend
to palliate the crime. People forget that
the offense committed, while 1t may bring
loss to Mr.. Gould, is still an otfense
against the laws of the country. In the
eyes of the law Jay Gould does not appear
as the injured party; society is the suf.
ferer and organized society will be the
prosecutor if the robbers are caught.

a GEOLOGICAL SURREY.

The last Legislature was composed of
fair representative body of men who
had the interests OF the state at heart and
who understood the wants of the people,
Some very salutary laws were enacted
and much good was accomplished during
| the session, taken as whole. While
this is true and alike creditable to the
state and the legislators, there was one
subject upon which due thought seems
not to have been expended and to which
due consideration was not given. We
refer to the state geological survey bill.
The question was comparatively new to
many of the members who hesitated to
spend the peoples money without first
having the question discussed and the
sense of The voters ascertained, and their
caution was laudable though not en-
tirely free from error. The proposition
of the general government is SO liberal
ana the mineral wealth of Texas SO
great that wisdom should have dictated
different course. II Texas had appro-
priated $4,000 and the general govern
ment $4,000 the latter sum would be
added to the wealth of Texas. 1t would be
spent in prospecting, and thus sent into
circulation. The benefits to be derived
from 100000 spent in this way are meal
culsble. We have every reason to believe
that Texas has fabulous wealth under her
soil which, when located, will add to the
material prosperity of the commonwealth
and private enterprise SHOULD not be ex-
pected to risk the losses Of experimental
search. Here, in Fort Worth, company
has recently been formed for the purpose
of boring for natural gas. This should
not be necessary. If gas is struck,
as il is believed it will be,
not only the projectors of the
enterprise, the city and county, but the
state and the Nation will become bene-
fciaries. If, however, in the face of
the most encouraging surface indi-
cations, the attempt to obtain gas
should eventuate in failure the loss
would fall solely upon the enterprising
projectors. While q geological survey
might not actually discover the subter-
ranean treasures sought for, it would at
least locate them with comfortable Ger
tainty. Capital and private enterprise
could then come in and finish the work
begun. The next Legislature will have
had more time to study the question in
all its bearings, and it is expected that
liberal appropriation will be made for the
purpose Of developing the hidden re-
sources of the state.

TITS now asserted that Henry George and
DR.. McGlynn are making strong effort
to work up Blaine boom. This is
palpably mistake. Henry George has
always opposed Mr.. Blaine, and it is
generally known that DR.. McGlynn's
espousal Of Cleveland's cause, is one of
the many causes which have led to his
present attitude to his church. While
the mission of the crusaders is political
in its nature, it is not partisan as relat
ing to the old parties. If political action
is taken, it will be taken as new and
distinct party, and not as an auxiliary to
any of the old ones. THE GAZETTE does
not agree with Mr.. George IN his teach
ings, but believes him to be honest and
intensely earnest in his convictions. He
has never uttered syllable or indited
sentence which would convict him of in
consistency. If the candidate of either
of the old parties is injured by the forma-
ton of the third party, it will be merely
an incident and not an object of such
